The Japanese Damascus steel knife: an ideal gift idea for a man
Which knife to give a man? Choose excellence. Think outside the box. Neither the famous Laguiole knife made in Thiers, France, nor an Opinel, the Japanese knife in Damascus steel illustrates the ancestral cutlery know-how of the Far East. A unique and refined 4-star gift.
A fine knife honors a man's activities
In Japan, knife-making follows in the footsteps of samurai sword-making. A blade with an exceptional cutting edge and a personalized design. Each knife from Maison Damas pays homage to this ancestral know-how, combining aesthetic appeal with formidable efficiency. It's the ideal gift for a man who wishes to combine the pleasure of preparing a dish in the kitchen with that of owning a unique piece with a beautiful knife.
At Maison Damas, knife blades are made from Damascus steel. This carbon steel is heated in the forge, then bent and assembled in several layers. This Damascus steel workmanship gives the blade exceptional hardness and sharpness.
Maison Damas knives are sublime objects. Their handles can be customized. Depending on the collection, you can choose a handle in olive wood, mother-of-pearl, metal or stone. Personalizing the handle of a knife means giving gifts that will last a lifetime! The blade of each knife features a unique pattern: waves or ripples created by successive tempering of the carbon steel in the forge. Unpolished, carbon steel retains the marks of the hammer on the metal. Choose an irreplaceable knife.

How to choose the right knife for a man?
To choose the right knife for a man, first check the quality of the blade. There are two types of blade: stainless steel and carbon steel. Stainless steel protects the blade from corrosion. Carbon guarantees the blade's cutting performance. At Maison Damas, a VG10 stainless steel core is integrated into the carbon steel layers to reinforce the blade's longevity.
As with folding, pocket, hunting or survival knives, Japanese kitchen knives need a comfortable handle. Made of horn, wood or metal, the handle guarantees the user's safety and agility. At Maison Damas, the handle is different for each collection: Nagoya, Matsu, Akita, Nagasaki, Kimoya or Niigata. Discover all these products at Maison Damas.
